R&R are fully compliant with forthcoming
EU Legislation RoHS that becomes law within EU National States from 1 July

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), containing more than the
permitted levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium and both
polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
flame retardants, on the market in the EU.
Furthermore, electrical
and electronic equipment put on the market from 1 July 2006 may only be
repaired and/or serviced with "RoHS-compliant" spare parts.
